You don't want to know what those parameters
should be but what they actually
are. Ammonia and nitrite (NO2) need to be zero or near zero - 'normal' won't cut it. If clowns (assuming they were healthy to begin with) are dying there is something seriously wrong with your parameters.
Need to know this:
- size of original tank?
- how long was original tank running?
- what livestock, how much live rock, and what other filtration was in original tank?
- size of new tank?
- how much live rock carried over, what other filtration carried over, any new liverock or filtration?
- how long has new tank been setup and what livestock was in there before the clowns?
Lastly measure ammonia and nitrite! Nitrate would be helpful too.
